COSTUMER Filed Nov. 7. 192' awuentoz Patented Sept. 24, 1929 UNITED STATES CLARENCE IR, DAVIS, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN GOSTUMER Application filed November 7, 1927.

My invention relates to an improvement in costumers shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claim.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a costumer which may be placed in the corner of a room or adjacent to a wall and which is adapted to support a number of garment hangers suspended from an out- 10 standing arm projecting from a post in such a manner that the garments may not interfere with the hats hung upon a plurality of arms located above the garment supportin g arm on each side of the latter.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for supporting the post of the costumer extending a relatively greater distance from the post on the side beneath the projecting arm,-from which the coat hang- 0 ers are suspended,than on the opposite side of the post that it may not tip over due to the weight of the clothing suspended from the arm above.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for supporting several umbrellas so that when wet they may not come into contact with the garments suspenoled from the projecting arm, the arrangement being such that the umbrellas may be readily removed from the rack or replaced without interfering with the clothing suspended from the arm.

This device is. primarily designed for restaurants or other public places and is especially adapted to occupy as little room as possible while accommodating a relatively large number of hats and garments.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention further resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed without departing from the spirit of the same.

In the drawings accompanying this speciiication:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the cos- Serial No. 231,576.

tumer with its central column or post broken away in order that the several principal elements of the device may be shown relatively large upon the sheet,an umbrella being indicated by dotted lines supported in the rac Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view through the base secured to a fragment of the post or column,taken on or about line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a similar vertical cross-sectional View at right angles to the preceding view,-taken on or about line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the umbrella supporting bracket with the post of the costumer in cross-section,as viewed at about line Jr-4: of Figure 1.

Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings:

A denotes a post which may be either a solid rod or tubular as preferred, mounted in a base member B secured by a set screw B to the post.

C is a base plate preferably rectangular in 7 form to which the base member B is attached by its integral central lug B riveted to the plate.

D, D denote a pair of legs spaced apart of substantially U-shaped form, extending beneath the plate C,and D D are similar legs bent to receive and overlap the first named legssee Figures 2 and 3the several legs being secured to the base plate C by screws E, E extending through the base plate into the base member.

Attached to the top of the post A is a fitting F supporting a plurality of arms G se cured thereto, having upwardly bent ends with an enlarged head G to receive and support hats hung thereon.

Secured to the fitting F and extending therefrom above and in vertical alignment with the relatively longer outwardly projecting ends of the legs D is an arm H formed with a plurality of notches H on its upper face to receive the hooks of coat or other garment hangers I, suspended therefrom.

It will be apparent that the object of eX- tending the legs D D a relatively greater distance from the post on the side from which the arm H projects, than they do on the other side of the post is to insure the device against tipping from the Weight of the garments carried by the armand also that the several legs D and D are preferably formed With a footpiece (Z to provide a relatively broad support for the costumer.

J is an umbrella supporting bracket arm secured to the post A formed With a projecting spider frame J With openings through the latter to receive the handles of umbrella-s K, the spider frame being so constructed that hooks J are provided Which serve 'to "confine the handle of the umbrella that it may not fall from the bracket. The end of the umbrellafis"adapted to 'e xtentl into are'movable pan "L'located'belowv the base plate that moisture from the umbrella may drip therein.

Havin-gthus described my'inven'tion What I claim is p p p 4 A costumer comprising a pairof spaced 4 relatively long legs, a pair of spaced relatively short legs dispose'd transver'sely of the long legs, the point of intersectionbeing midvvay between'the endslof the short legs and at a point nearer one end ofthe long'le'gs than the other, both "sets of legs havin g intermediate portions elevated With relation to their end portions, a'post mounted'upon the legs at a point over thefspacesbt'ween'themembers of both pairs oflegs and asupport carried by the post at a point above theleg's. p

In testimony -whereof, I sign this specificationt r CLARENCE R. DAVIS.
